Great to see this - George Soros and individuals like him who attempt to (and usually successfully do) manipulate public policy by exploiting the
systems and people in place are nothing short of major criminals. These crimes have a ripple effect and the damage inflicted can happen years or even
decades later, on a massive scale.

George Soros and his "philanthropy" and NGOs have been caught doing sketchy things, like allowing illegal refugees to enter into Europe via Southern
Italy, some of which were affiliated with ISIS. His NGOs and de facto Soros himself are guilty of human trafficking and supporting terrorism, at
least from what I understand.

The EU European Border and Coast Guard Agency published a report about the above mentioned crimes if you are curious

Wow....just out is his address to the European Parliament...talk about calling out your peers in the open...thats some balls there.

Transcript had to be screenshot as I couldn't copy paste from YouTube...

Pretty crazy!

Farage is in the same business, he is part and parcel of Robert Mercer's participation..he's in trouble himself...and he knows it, but it's worse,
Mercer's end is not just exposition, it's also about very much the possibility of Russian collusion as well.

Quote from your source: "These people promote the ideas of Soros, such as bringing in more migrants, same-sex marriages, integration of Ukraine into
the EU, and countering Russia."

* Yeah, that is SO bad! Same-sex marriages?! Sad!

Oh, and Orban is a "good guy"? Nope. He is like Hitler, but even more stupid! Sorry, Hungarians. He is crapping on the EU and on the other hand wants
to have more subsidiaries. Righto! And if you think that both together is justified, you are a person without morale.

Really, this forum is full of hate on Soros, while you can't even say something AGAINST him, which isn't against human rights at the same time. Or
against capitalism itself. Sometimes, I wonder about the amount of 1984' doublethink (if I translated the word "zwiedenk" from Orwell correct) on this
board. On the one hand, you hate Soros. Okay. I do not know why, because even this Zerohedge-article ist just against migrants, and that is in my
opinion against human rights. On the other hand, you like that there are really rich people who are influencing politics. See Trump and his band of
billionaires.

Whenever I read another hate-thread about Soros, I imagine a threadposter so filled full of crap by his echochamber, that this person can't think for
himself.

Orban is a populist. If you like populists, your worldview has the horizon of a dungbeetle. "Interests of the people" HA HA!
Soros is a capitalist and you are indoctrinated to hate him. Because he wants to bring in migrants. And thats it. Where is the difference to Merkel?
She isn't a billionaire and therefore not a rival for your grey emminencies (= other billionaires, like the Koch brothers).

Cook is at the centre of a political scandal raging in Northern Ireland. Back in February, an openDemocracy investigation found that donors had
taken advantage of Northern Ireland’s secretive electoral laws to funnel hundreds of thousands of pounds to the DUP’s pro-Brexit campaign. Under
pressure, the DUP revealed that the party had received £425,622 from a group called ‘the Constitutional Research Council’. Over £32,000 of this
money was spent on data analytics company AggregateIQ, a small Canadian outfit that has been linked to Donald Trump’s billionaire backer Robert
Mercer and Cambridge Analytica, who are now at the heart of an investigation by the Information Commission.

We know almost nothing about the Constitutional Research Council. The outfit has no formal legal status. What we can say for sure is that it is
chaired by Cook, and he has promised to fund the pro-union campaign in any future Scottish independence referendum.

“More people with more money are ready to step up to the plate this time compared with the last referendum” Cook told the Sunday Times earlier
this year. He didn’t reveal who those people are.

The DUP has also refused to say who the backers behind the CRC are, and there is little to suggest that Cook himself is a major donor. Former
Conservative colleagues describe Cook as “a nice guy but not a rich guy”.

Cook – who could not be contacted for this piece – appears to retain an interest in Scottish politics. He is listed as an advisor on Think
Scotland, a conservative-minded website funded by Scottish unionist businessman Robert Kilgour. Think Scotland is owned by former Tory MSP Brian
Monteith. Monteith was head of press during the referendum for Leave.EU, the campaign group run by Arron Banks and Nigel Farage.

Cook’s interests are not confined to politics. Since general election defeat in 2010, he has been involved in a number of international business
deals. In 2012, his company Cook Consulting (UK) Ltd held a press conference in Glasgow announcing its involvement in a £640m water desalination
project in Pakistan. The firm failed to submit accounts in 2014 and was dissolved by Companies House via compulsory strike-off in 2015.

In 2013, Cook founded another company called Five Star Investment Management Ltd with the former head of the Saudi Arabian intelligence agency, Prince
Nawwaf bin Abdul Aziz. The prince’s son is the Saudi ambassador to the UK. The other director of the company was Peter Haestrup, a Danish national
who has been connected to the Purulia arms drop case, a long-running multinational scandal that involved weapons being dropped over the Indian
province of West Bengal in 1995.
ive Star Investment Management Ltd was registered at Mr Cook’s Glasgow address. The firm filed no accounts with Companies House, and was dissolved
in December 2014.

Cook also has connections with right-wing pressure groups in the UK. He was Scottish spokesperson for Conservative Friends of Israel and for the
Campaign Against Political Correctness, a campaign allied to the Freedom Association, a right-wing Eurosceptic pressure group that supported apartheid
in South Africa. Back in 2009, Richard Cook spoke alongside current Tory MSP Murdo Fraser at a Freedom Association fringe event at the Conservative
party conference in Perth to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Margaret Thatcher’s 1979 election victory. Freedom Association Chief Executive Simon
Richards later praised Cook as “one of the hardest working PPC’s (Parliamentary Prospective Candidates) anywhere in the country”.

The Freedom Association has historical links with Northern Ireland. Among its original founders was Ross McWhirter, a controversial journalist who
campaigned for strict restrictions on Irish people in Britain, including making it compulsory for all Irish people in Britain to register with the
local police and to provide signed photographs of themselves when renting flats or booking into hotels and hostel. McWhirter was shot dead by the
Provisional IRA in Enfield in 1975.

The Freedom Association boasts of “friendly links” with the Democratic Unionist Party. In 2007 and 2008, leading DUP politicians Jeffrey Donaldson
and Sammy Wilson were involved in Freedom Association “fact finding” events in Northern Ireland. At the time, the Freedom Association said it had
“taken a close interest in Ulster matters from its earliest days and is keen to strengthen its ties with the province and to demonstrate its support
for the Union.” Donaldson was the chair of the DUP’s Brexit campaign – his name appeared on the election material that the CRC’s £425,000
donation paid for – and Wilson was a prominent pro-Brexit DUP voice throughout the campaign, regularly appearing in the media.

But we have very few politicians with the level of integrity shown by Mr. Farage. Whether you like his opinions or not, he has campaigned tirelessly
for one goal for two bloody decades and had always said once he had attained his goal he would step down as party leader because he wasn't in this
ever to be PM, just to do what he thought best for British people.

Educate yourself about his curency manipulation schemes in Britain, Thailand, Malaysia ...
Soros is never held to the standards of the people he wages war on. Soros destroys the savings of British pensioners, while using the money to fund
left wing groups which claim to care about the plight of the poor.

Some of the causes that Soros are claiming to defend are causes I would agree with, but I'll never agree with Soros methods.

I repeat myself: he is a capitalist, making money. "Black Wednesday" is still a national scandal? He made money (a lot of it) by betting against the
Pound and that is the source and proof of Evil?

Really? Thats it? Pretty thin-skinned then, eh. Educate yourself about the Black Thursday, then. About the same. But without the namecalling.

"He is a well-known supporter of American progressive and American liberal political causes and dispenses his donations through his foundation, the
Open Society Foundations" - oh shiiiitake, thats the problem! WRONG SIDE OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM! But you never mentioned that! Only that he is a
bad person?!

Or is it his university in Hungary?
Could you then explain what was so wrong about that - did they teach how to dismantle Orbans corrupt charge of thieves? Or were they just in the way
of a synchronized conformist education in Hungary?

That's why the policies pushed by Soros are dangerous : under claims of advocating 'liberal-democracy', Soros is actually pushing for ultra-liberalism
and total deregulation. The democratic aspect of his claims being - as illustrated by the OP - the possibility to use his money to 'educate' and
'convince' elected official to side with his views.

EDIT : it is not a problem of political partisanship, I'd take the same stance against the Koch Brothers.
